Shut up, brave man! I don't want to atone for my sins to you!

19. Welcome to

The witch and the brave man tacitly agreed that no matter how busy Mula was, he would not be so busy that he would not even have the time to welcome them.

However, the strange elf who was sent to greet them told them that not only Mula, but in fact every elf was very busy and had urgent work to be completed, and he just happened to have just finished the work at hand, so he had time to spare.

Now the witch was a little unsure of her judgment.

Could it be that Mula really didn't come to greet them in person just because he was too busy?

So she simply asked:

"Then how long will you be busy before you finish?"

The strange elf looked at her strangely when he heard that, then raised his head and looked up at the huge ship that was like a continuous dark cloud that almost covered the entire sky.

“Until it’s built,” he replied.

Lacier understood that now was undoubtedly a good opportunity to strike while the iron was hot, so she asked again:

"Speaking of which, why are you so obsessed with repairing this starship?"

Upon hearing this, the strange elf withdrew his gaze and stared straight at Laciel.

After a brief silence, he gave an overly simple answer:

“…In order to return.”

"return?"

Lacey was stunned.

She had certainly guessed that it might be possible.

The reason why the elves are so eager to rebuild the starship is that they want to use the starship to leave the Pangaea and find their homeland in the vast starry sky.

That is the strange civilization that built this starship and launched it.

The return mentioned by the strange elf probably means making the starship return and leading them back to their true hometown, right?

But as to whether this starship can bring the elves back to their homeland...

Rachel was skeptical.

Energy, navigation systems, the repairability of starships, and warnings from previous civilizations to the entire Pan-Continent will all become insurmountable obstacles on the elves' road to return.

At least in Laciel's understanding, today's elves are far from being able to easily travel in space, even if they inherit the legacy left by the mistress.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but raise a new question:

"Can you really ensure that you can completely repair the starship? You know, manned space flight is by no means a simple matter. If there is a slight accident, the price you have to pay is simply unimaginable..."

But she soon remembered that this was not her hometown.

The cost of attempting manned space flight on Pangaea would be far less than that of attempting it on her home planet.

After all, there are omnipotent spells here. Even if something goes wrong with the spacecraft, the driver can use the power of the spells to return to the ground safely.

"But if that's the case, why have I never heard of anyone, or any country or region attempting manned space flight?"

Lacey suddenly realized this.

She was startled.

Obviously, the Pangaea had such convenient, fast and powerful spells, but as far as she knew, no wizard in history had ever tried to spy on the starry sky.

She had never realized this before.

Perhaps all her attention was attracted by various people or things that deserved more attention, first the magic reform initiated by Lao Deng, and then the brave team of Charles.

Now thinking back carefully, there is indeed a large blank space covering the entire Pangaea.

You know, even a fool like Ciel can say something like "looking up at the stars is something every child is born to do", so there should be people who would think of exploring the starry sky.

Because whether in the past life or this life, the humans that Lacie knew were such curious creatures.

I was warned that once I put the light bulb in my mouth, I couldn't take it out by myself, but I still couldn't help but do it.

Rachel didn't believe that such humans, once they had enough abilities, would stay within their means and not try to leave this planet that was bound by gravity and imagination.

But strangely, this is exactly what happened.

At least in Rachel's memory, she had never heard of such news.

Of course, even she herself has never made such an attempt, perhaps because she is too lazy, or perhaps because she has simply never thought about it.

"Then is there a possibility..." She shuddered for no apparent reason, thinking, "The cognition of everyone in the entire Pan-Continent has been modified in some way... or hinted at?"

They were all forbidden to peer into the stars.

If this was true, then the only possible culprit that Lacie could think of was the previous civilization that had left the warning: "Do not touch the starry sky."

Was it the work of previous civilization?

Could it be that in order to prevent later generations from touching the starry sky, previous civilizations simply erased their consciousness of exploring the starry sky?

This is too... outrageous.

But if it was a previous civilization that was destroyed by touching the starry sky, it doesn't seem too outrageous to be able to do such a thing?

Thinking of this, Lacie sighed with mixed feelings.

"It seems that after I settle down in Lentiheim, I need to contact Lao Deng again - I need to ask her whether anyone in the history of Pangaea has ever tried to explore the starry sky."

She hoped there was, but she hadn't heard it.

At this time, the strange elf's answer finally came:

"I don't know about this, but the Archon may know. You can go and ask her."

It can only be said to be expected.

Laciel had not originally expected to get any valuable information from the elf in front of her, but since he said so, Laciel simply nodded, said okay, and then maintained precious silence.

Now, the "focus" of all problems has been gathered on the governor of Lentiheim, Fuwenna.

So, can they really find the answers to all the questions from Fuwenna?

Lacey didn't know, she could only pray silently in her heart.

……

After passing through dilapidated houses and streets, the brave team finally arrived at the central square, which was once the most prosperous place in the entire city-state, under the guidance of a strange elf.

Here, the witch and the brave man saw a teleportation array that they had seen before, which Fuvenna called a "jump device."

"Please follow me."

The strange elf guided the brave team onto the platform of the jump device, and then he activated the jump device.

Amid the low humming sound and the faint green light that followed, the scenery outside the platform quickly distorted and changed, eventually turning into a thick, lifeless gray.

Along with this came a reminder from a strange elf beside him:

"Everyone, we're here."

Then, as if in response to his suggestion, a gentle, spring-like female voice came from all directions:

"An unknown visitor has been identified and the permissions are being verified. The permissions have been verified and identified as a Class 1 visitor. The relevant areas have been unlocked for you."

Then, their arrival seemed to trigger a certain judgment condition, so the female voice announced again:

"A preset command has been detected. It comes from the temporary captain, Ms. Fuwenna. She invites you to meet her in the main control room. Please follow the green guide signs to the main control room in an orderly manner."

Upon hearing this, Lacie subconsciously raised her head.

She looked at Ciel and saw that he was frowning as well.

Apparently, Ciel also recognized the female voice.

They had both heard it before, in Lentiheim, in that church in the fog, they had heard the owner of the voice say to them, to the spirits, that He was good.

Lacie couldn't help biting her lips lightly.

"Is it... the mistress of the elves?" she asked in a low voice.

Ciel nodded seriously.

"I can't think of any other possibility except Him, although it's different from last time."

Of course, Lacie knew what Charles was talking about - the last time they heard the mistress speak, the voice sounded directly in their minds, but now, it was clear that He was using some kind of medium to send the voice directly into their ears through the air.

But this may not be important, what is important is...

"Did the mistress really win the resurrection match?"

Lacele bit her fingers.

First it was her, then the mistress, and everyone won the resurrection match one after another, as if the Pan-Continent had ushered in some kind of great resurrection era, and the dead would all return to the world one after another.

This, this, this...is this right?

Rachel didn't know.

She wanted to call out to the mistress and ask her how she won the resurrection match. However, this action alone sounded strange enough, and there was also a strange elf following them...

"Eh?"

The witch suddenly froze.

She turned her head and looked behind her, but could not find the figure of the strange elf.

I don't know when he left, and his speed made people doubt whether he ever existed.

At this time, Joseph saw Rachel's doubts and answered her:

"The elf just left, but he didn't say anything and left in a hurry...didn't you notice?"

Lacier had no choice but to reply with a stiff expression:

"……without."

She really didn't notice.

How scary! She didn't feel anything at all!

In order to hide the embarrassment, she forcibly changed the subject:

"Maybe he's walking so fast because we don't need him to lead the way anymore. Didn't you all hear the voice just now? He told us to... follow the green guide signs, right?"

Lacie quickly found the so-called green guide sign on the ground - it was an arrow emitting a soft green light, pointing to the other end of the long passage.

“It’s quite humane?”

Lacey muttered something casually.

However, even this function has been fully restored, and the mistress has already won the resurrection match in the broadcasting system...

Oh my god, have the elves really completed the reconstruction of this starship?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but raise her head and tentatively shouted:

"Mistress? Or...dear shipboard host?"

She didn't know how to summon the "Mistress", so she could only try randomly.

But she succeeded.

The gentle, slightly distorted female voice came again from all directions.

He said:

"I'm here, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Uh...no."
